My C7 Stingray 3LT auto just started developing this exact same sound under the torque tube area. It started about a week ago. I can post a video if anyone is interested. I have about 6500 miles on the car. It's been perfect up until now. I have a scheduled appointment at the dealer next week. I am very concerned about it after reading all of the horror story threads about misaligned torque tube installs and failing engines. I'm coming out of two 370zs that had engine trouble, one of which I used the lemon law on... and now this. :( Kind of freaks me out to have the largest part of the car replaced.

<updated with links to videos>
C7 Rattle 1 (noise is quite loud and apparent)
C7 Rattle 2 (quieter in this video but you can hear it towards the end when I let the RPMs drop)
